The National Parliaments in the European Union : A Critical View on EU Constitution-Building (European Monographs Series Set)

Kiiver explores the balance between national parliamentarism and European integration, and the political and constitutional implications of demands to give the national parliaments a greater role in the European Union. He questions what he sees as the shallow academic and political consensus that supports an enhanced role for national parliaments, and argues that depending on the point of view, it is not necessarily the most desirable cause to subscribe to.
